Questions about herbs/supplements:
In general taking most every herb or supplements is not advised while on generic Harvoni, however what about drinkng Dandelion tea? It seems to calm me and from what I understand it can reduce inflammation and can soothe liver…..or is this an old wives tale?
If you can drink it how much is too much and what is consdeted moderate?
Thank you.

Thank you. You know I agree with what you said and before I sign out of here I wanted to say that.
The big pharma reps shower these docs with huge gifts of gratis when they play kind with billion dollar companies, when they don’t though they get their friends to hate them by forming cliques against them, and to think they were once friends! The cliques are ever present even in our group of like minded patients, all in theory on the same page BUT if you sway from them in the slightest their nails get long and they react by forming their own cliques too. So who the hell knows “who’s on first” anymore? So I thank you for your brilliant commentary and social equilibrium, ah what a refreshing read that was.
Cheers my friend but watch your back here your Karma will disappear if you don’t kiss the right booty!

My issue is different.
My Gastrointestinal Doctor is now refusing to release my UND results to me. His admin stated that after 4 weeks I was UND and that was then the doctor has made excuses going on 3 weeks, not to give me my results. They, US Gastrointestinal Doctors, see generics as a threat to their income. My doctor at first tried to talk me out of generics by saying they could be false, cloned, black market etc but then I said the alternative is certain death for me, he relented. Now that I am UND after 4 weeks he knows it is legit, he will not return my calls and has his assistant tell he was on vacation and would not release results to me until he signed them, now she tells me he is so far backed up he doesn’t know when I’ll get them! This is because of all the luxurious gifts they get from big Pharma reps who shower them for using Gilead Abbevie Vikere Pak Harvoni etc, and it will ruin their income stream and perks. Once low-cost meds come on to the marketplace the testing and monitoring will not be as expensive and they will not be able to charge as much so their income level will drop. He is now denying me my results because he’s afraid of what the future may bring even though there’s no way he can stop it. I’m going there tomorrow to demond my tests if he will give them to me I will say I’ll call our local TV news station and let them know what’s happening if he doesn’t? We’ll see what happens. Pathetic!

Really your not. I have only seen, personally, maybe 10% of people getting tested every 2 weeks. Why would you want to, I mean what good is it unless your really having issues otherwise every 4 weeks is good.
Right?

GF … I hear you brother ! This medicine is like a miracle so far, I’ve never felt so good in three decades ! Awesome post & stay well.
In good health my friend.
